Stay safe in work zones

• Work zones are wherever you see workers, flaggers and surveyors in bright yellow-green or orange vests.
• Work zones are also marked with orange cones or barrels, concrete barriers, traffic control devices or moving vehicles with flashers.
• Work zones operate day and night, anywhere you travel.

Pay attention

Drivers speeding and not paying attention are the main causes of work zone crashes.

• Stay alert, especially at night.
• Obey posted speed limits. Fines may double for violations in work zones.
• Expect work zones to constantly change. Day to day, you could experience lane shifts, closures or moving workers and vehicles.
• Never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones.
• Don’t make unnecessary lane changes.
• Stay off cell phones and mobile devices.
• Be patient. Expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
